He Departed Suddenly.

NEW Brunswick, n. j., Jan. l.
Eight years & Henry Morris and Others
organized the New York Textile Filtering
company, with a factory at Woodbridge,
N. j. Patent coffee pots and patent con-
densed coffee was manufactured. coffee
houses were established in New York
City. and apparently the concern was
prosperous. Henry Morris, Jr., had sole
charge, the other members of the firm
knowing nothing of its financial standing.
Two years ago no began to speculate IN
coffee in New York, and when Arnold &
Co. went under he luckily pulled through.
A week ago to-day he was not at his place
OF business, and days passed without his
appearing. An investigation began. The
safe was burst open, but nothing was
found, not even the books, every trace of
the company's business transactions hav-
ing been destroyed. Protested checks and
dishonored notes now began to come in.
These now amount to $40. 600. Morris
father and brother deny that he has
forged their names to notes and drafts,
but acknowledge hat the fathers hand
some residence at Woodbridge was mort
gagged by Henry, he forging his fathers
name to the deed. SO great was the
amount of paper which Morris & Co. had
on the market that the concerns in New
York became alarmed and brought about
the exposure To these firms Morris told
fabulous tales of the wealth of the filter
ing company. Harvey Morris and A. +.
Nichols, of San Francisco, a son-in law of
Morris, ST., acknowledge H%enry's down
Morris told no one of his intended
departure, not even his wife.

Two Misers Found Dead.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. This alter
noon a policeman forced an entrance to
the rear of the frame dwelling 1925 To-
Gust street, and discovered the dead bod
les of two old misers, Joseph Perry, aged
rs years, and Robert Price, aged 65 years.
The TWO old men were eccentric and
had occupied the premises for forty years.
They occupied two rooms on the ground
floor, both of which were s~cantily fur
nished while the door leading to the Sec
ond floor was locked and barred and
nailed to keep out intruders. They re-
fused to associate with anyone in the
neighborhood. Both were terribly enact
ated and had every appearance of having
been starved to death. Perry was in the
auction business, from which he retired
ten years ago. His fortune is v%ariously
estimated at from 800, 900 tn $3.50, 900.
Price was a carpenter and did odd Jobs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Senator Nc
Pherson to day submitted an amendment
to the Interstate bill, proposing
the addition of the following words to

CATION the commission, or a majority

Mrs. Emmons' Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. The lunacy
proceedings, instituted by Prof. Emmons
against Wel;ha A. Emmons, his wife,
were continued in the old circuit court
room to-day. The examination of Mrs.
DeCormis, who was Mrs. Emmons' tray
cling companion during her recent trip
to Europe, was concluded without elicit
ing anything Of importance beyond a de
tailed account OF Mrs. Emmons' eccen-
t~ricities. The next witness was DR.. Wal
tiers, who testified he made Il specially Of
nervous disorders and insanity. He first
met Mrs. Emmons Dec. "a, 1885, through
a card from DR.. Marion Sims, of New
York, and had an interview OF two hours
with her. She was then quiet and lady
like, but was incoherent in her speech.
He asked her a great many questions. but
her answers were wandering and often
irrelevant. Witness continued his visits
up to March ., 1856, and found that Mrs.
Emmons' had a number of decisions.
Once she told him that she was very sus-
picious. He made some remark with
regard to her loneliness, when she declared
that she was not afraid because she had a
dagger which when warm was deadly, but
when cold was inert. This dagger she
showed him and it proved to be n shawl
pin. She said she had accidentally
pricked her cheek with this dagger, and
knowing that it was poisoned, she took
onions and milk as an antidote, and rec
commended the same to him.

The jackson Club BANQUET

CoLrMBrs, o., Jan. The fourth
annual banquet and celebration of the
sth of January, under the auspices of the
jackson club, was held at the city build
ings tonight. The stage bore large size
pictures of the hero of New Orleans,
Thurman, Tilden and President Cleve-
land. Four tables extended l~engthwise
of the room and covers were turned for
$50. Judge Allan G. Thurman, who
was the living hero Of the evening, was
received with much demonstration, and
spoke to THE Union The common
heritage Of the people"
Thurman spoke of the rapid growth of
the country and said at the present ratio
of increase another hundred years would
see. if the Union lasts, 2Oo. 600, 900 more
people here than now inhabit the whole
continent of Europe. He said: [
think that the Democratic party is the
natural party OF free institutions, and that
it will be indestructible so long as freedom
exists in America. All hat | can do in
concluding my brief remarks is to conjure
you to cherish the deep and untaltering
love OF your free institutions. to inculcate
this love in the minds of your children,
and never, under any circumstance how
ever appalling, to despair OF a republic.
Frank Lawler, of Chicago, responded to
the toast, THE Workingman-Twenty-
five years of Republican mal-administra-
ton has left him at the mercy Of the mon
opolists.' After relating briefly his W
experience as a workingman, and his early
struggles to gain an education and foot
hold in the world, he proceeded to give a
concise statement of labor legislation as it
existed at the time he entered congress
and the investigations pursued by con-
%gresslonal committees in endeavoring to
arrive at the true situation of affairs and
proper remedies for labor troubles. The
investigation is not yet concluded. but in
the meantime, through the wise influence
of Powderly, labor strikes were brought to
a temporary close, and wage workers are
still looking toward congress hopefully
and trustfully for beneficial legislation, so
that they shall not be subject to the
caprice OF corporations, but have the
rights which should be accorded free men.
He then spoke of the extravaganza of the
Republican administration, and the duty
which was incumbent upon the Demo-
party to the evils of its predecessor.

VIII Resort to Dynamite.

SAN Francisco, Jan. THE Eranr-
er to-day publishes a letter from the al
legged authors of the dynamite explosion
on the cable road on Ninth street We'd
nesday night. The letter is written in
red ink on coarse brick colored paper. 1t

explosion are members of a society and
powerful organization which had its birth
in Chicago directly after the hay market
riots. The letter further states that the
d%ynamiters have no connection with the
Carmen's Union, and that the latter is
entirely ignorant who the dynamiters are.
The epistle concludes as follows: 1--WE
have a programme laid out for a series of
dynamite explosions and shall go forward

west of the Red river. The country is
rather broken there, aud there are many
sand hills, with timber along the streams,
and the finest summer grazing ever seen.
1t beats Montana or Wyoming for cattle,
and the cattle men from those Territories
saw they never saw such pasturage;
but the summer grass doesn't cure well
for winter. Nature has made provision
for this, however, by placing wide bot
toms along the river, which are overtown
every spring, and after the water Subsidies
q fine grass springs up, which cuts four or
five tons of hay to the acre. We feed this
for winter, beginning about November 10,
and running along until the middle OF
March. Last winter / had three hundred
